2026 Great Falls Mother’s Day Mom & Kids Mini Sessions!

At the end of April, I hosted these mom & kids sessions in Great Falls, MT. It’s something I absolutely love doing as we head into Mother’s Day.

Moms are so often the ones behind the camera, capturing their kids but rarely getting in the frame themselves. These Mother’s Day minis are a chance for moms to get in the photo with their kids.

This year looked a little different—instead of front yard sessions, we met at a local park here in Great Falls. Spring weather kept things interesting, with a snow forecast leading up to the day, but thankfully we ended up with a chilly but dry day.

I photographed Great Falls moms with their babies, toddlers, and older kids, capturing sweet, heartfelt portraits that reflect the love and connection they share. We had a great time, and one of my favorite parts is still to come (more on that below).
